given petes other work, IE GWR wagon packs, i'm not surprised that this model is so finely detailed. GREAT JOB dude!

Thanks guys
Right side details are rather different than the left and considerably more "piped", but all done now

Nah, payware's not my thing
Few reasons. I've had so much from this community over the years it's nice being able to give back to it. I only make things that interest me (or things other people make me aware of that pique my interest) and also I relax a lot by modelling. The second you charge money suddenly there's a whole added dimension of pressure that would stop it being fun for me.
And as with my GWR stuff being a lot to do with my Dad's love of GWR (which wore off on me as a child), this model was inspired by a conversation with him whilst at the Eastleigh 100 earlier this year when he remembered seeing Q1's on the lines around where he lived when he was a boy.
Can't be charging money when it's a labour of love

Thanks for the comments all, appreciate it.
I am pleased to be able to announce 3 things..
Firstly my kitchen is finally wallpapered!
Secondly thanks to Sly again there is now going to be an animated inner motion (which looks really great!)
And thirdly, the loco model is complete, bar some enhancing of the aforementioned inner motion parts - nobody get too excited though, long way to go yet before it's ready for public consumption.
Best I make a start on the tender I guess
